Master the Pandas and Scikit libraries.

Agree with PwC 1. However, I would cautiously learn sci kit without creating a dependency on it. The power of having it all in one package is great but People tend to get carried away with gridsearch. I have found their examples and explanations to be very good when learning the package, so don't take that for granted

Also agree with Avanade, datacamp is great. PythonProgramming.net is one of my favorite resources

Numpy is handy too. I like Anaconda as well

The spark framework is super useful, large platforms will push you to scala and pyspark

Datacamp. Although it's a little easy (fill-in-the-blank coding exercises), you'll learn some really useful concepts. Also hear Dataquest is good and more challenging.

If you’re looking to connect python to SQL, I’ve used pyodbc, not too hard

I'm an introverted person, like to keep to myself, focus on work, spend the rest of my time on family, gym etc. I've been told that I need to work on my communication and client relationship building skills. any books I can read? I don't follow pop. culture anymore, no longer actively follow team sports (but sporty myself) as I consider it bread and circus for the masses and don't rly enjoy work drinks... Am I doomed? Personally I am happy and love the work but fear for my career progression.
